Incidental fact: I adore Fiona Apple. This was her first single. And she STILL rocks. And how much does Luka still make me cry :(
Edge of Seventeen is about the deaths of Stevie Nicks' uncle and John Lennon in the same week. Destiny's Child later sampled the riff in "Bootylicious" :-(
ReplyDeleteBella Donna, Stevie Nicks's first and best solo album (IMHO) is just bloody fantastic... it's where "Edge of Seventeen" is from - all the other tracks are fabulous too!
ReplyDeleteRhiannon is commonly thought to be about a Welsh witch, but it's actually about a novel Stevie Nicks read called Triad. Which incidentally was about a woman who is possessed by another women called Rhiannon.
ReplyDeleteHey, this is fantastic so far... I haven't even had to vote for any of these songs yet and they still got in! :D
